FTI Consulting’s EMEA Private Equity team is growing, and we are looking for exceptional Directors who can operate at the intersection of operations, technology, and value creation. You will work directly with leading Private Equity funds and portfolio company leadership to assess performance, identify upside, and deliver change at pace.

This is a hands‑on, high‑visibility role for individuals who thrive in fast‑moving deal environments and enjoy solving complex operational and technology challenges under pressure.

What You’ll Do

Value Creation & Tech Modernisation:

• Identifying automation, cloud migration, and platform consolidation opportunities. 

• Building investment cases for modernisation and cost optimisation. 

• Assessing whether the tech team and processes can deliver the roadmap.

• Defining IT TSAs and separation requirements. 

• Building Day 1 readiness plans for infrastructure, access, data, and security.

• Working directly with CTOs, CIOs, and engineering leads to deliver change.

We are committed to investing and supporting you in your professional development and we have developed a range of programs focused on fostering leadership, growth and development opportunities. We aim to promote continuous learning and individual skills development through on-the-job learning, self-guided professional development courses and certifications.
